Hello Daniel,
It does not make any sense to localize the integration variable inside
Integrate because the result may contain the integration variable (in
case of indefinite integrals).
However, it might be argued that it is a bad idea to use the same syntax
colouring for the integration variable that is used for localized
variables (e.g. in Table), as this will make it impossible to tell from
the colouring whether the variable has a value.
